Hero Academy - JiuJitsu, Boxing & Kickboxing

A modern, open space gym facility with a great selection of classes: boxing, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, cardio, strength training. Clean, spacious and strong community vibes.Friendly, knowledgable trainers. My partner has been training here for months and absolutely loves it.Kids classes. Even a child's play area! Great for parents looking to find time for fitness and have the little ones tag along.

The most welcoming space for martial arts and personal training. Not only are the owners very considerate people, their staff are stellar individuals as well. They respect your level of experience and give you the proper amount of attention to make you feel like you really want to be there. Nobody makes you feel intimidated and everyone during class is a joy to roll with. The gym stays clean and fresh, the showers are professionally tiled, and they even have a designated kids play area. Highly recommend Hero for anyone that wants to begin jiu jitsu or any martial art they offer. See you there!

This is my first time working with a personal trainer and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate how clean and welcoming the space is, and working one on one with Meego, it’s clear how much thought and care goes into each client and program. I can ask him ALL the questions, and know that I’ll be seen and heard. So happy to have found this place!!

My son attended a summer camp with Hero! He LOVED it!! they kept their days diversified with kick boxing, Jiu Jitsu and fun lunch time activities (think water park on hot summer days, hiking in Lynn Valley and walks to neighboring parks). They went above and beyond to make their days entertaining! I’m still jealous of the cool shirt he got! Fingers crossed there will be Spring camp and Summer camp in 2023!!We also did drop-in classes on the weekends and it’s best location for mom or dad to get a coffee while the kids are burning off some energy!!Highly recommend!!

My 6 yr-old daughter took MMA, Jiu Jitsu and Strike clases for almost 6 months at Hero. She was able to overcome severe bullying at her school thanks to the purpose that is immersed not only in Meego and Jaime, but also in all the coaches that are part of this great team. She earned confidence during this process and now she has no mental barriers or disadvantages. We will deeply miss Hero and its people and we can't wait to come back and get to know all the great life stories they are influencing with their discipline and mindset. I highly recommend this academy for all youth as they will only have very positive life-lasting experiences that will help them become great adults, make friends and have fun in the meanwhile. In addition, prices and plans are very reasonable for their offering. Very grateful with Hero!

Absolutely love training here. A fun and welcoming space to get your sweat on. Or have a massage with one of there fantastic RMTs.

Absolutely love Hero Academy! I've been to a few martial art gyms in the past, and this is by far my favorite.A great range of classes and supportive instructors. I appreciate that they offer strength training along with martial arts classes. I do not find it intimidating to join classes alone because everyone is friendly and inclusive. The instructors are friendly and do a great job encouraging proper technique.The gym is beautifully designed and includes so many thoughtful touches for members. I would highly recommend trying a free trial and experiencing everything Hero Academy has to offer.

My son participated in the summer program at Hero Academy this year. He very much enjoyed his time, and benefitted from the instruction. My son is not one to mince words when he didn’t have a good time, or he feels that he didn’t get “his moneys worth”. But, every day I picked him up he had a huge smile on his face, and he was bursting with excitement waiting to show the new moves that he had learned on his brother. I feel that the program has improved his confidence, and he was able to handle himself pretty well during a tussle which he got into with a bigger kid over the summer holidays. Not that we want him to use this, but it’s nice to know that he has a increased ability to stick up for himself if the situation calls for it. Great program with great people. I would highly recommend.

With so many fitness classes to choose from, it's a great place to learn and exercise.Every coach and student is very friendly and encourages each other to grow.If you don't know how to choose a course, there is also a one-week free trial here, so hurry up and sign up!

I have been training here for the last few months.> The owners and trainers are phenomenal! They are helpful, considerate, and passionate about what they do.> They have classes for all skill levels across multiple disciplines.> Relatively new gym, so all equipment is new.> Spotless facilities: change rooms, showers, lockers, and children's play area.> Thoughtful touches: towels, hair dryers, sanitary products, filtered water, and much more.> Located close to the Seabus and Lonsdale bus loop.They offer a one-week free trial, so give it a try and judge for yourself.
